How can you be disappointed about not getting the Hartman role after seeing Ermey’s performance?!? NOBODY could have done that role any better!!!

[jayebyrd]

R. Lee Ermey was not a Drill Seargent, he was a Drill Instructor. Drill Seargent's are in the Army. The Marine Corp had Drill Instructors. Some may find me being pedantic, but it is important to those of us who did serve.

I went through Recruit Training at San Diego in 1979. I assure you; the character of the DI was spot on. I do not know how it is today, but I will NEVER forget standing on the yellow footprints. It was about the second week that I realized I was not in a nightmare. Over time you learn to embrace the suck and progress well. What does that mean? You wake up, have a big realization the situation sucks and the only way through it is to say I buy in, and do it.

R. Lee Ermey made the movie believable. He did what he really did, when he was a DI. It wasn't the over the top Hollywood version of a DI.

[daveb.]

If you look close R. Lee Ermey is a helicoper pilot in Apocalypse Now during the dawn raid.

[dakritic]

He wasn’t a Drill Sergeant (Army), he was a Drill Instructor (USMC). Right out the gate this video has errors.

Vincent is an underated actor. He is really talented!

The movie had a pretty accurate view of boot camp. I was there in 1965. Johnson had just ordered an enlistment bulge and hotels were rented to house draftees until they could be processed. Old and extremely dried out WWIi barracks were opened for use. The burning time for total conflagration was 45 seconds. One barracks was set afire as a test and before it was put out by ready fire crews the whole block of barracks burnt down. Texas has really dry barracks! Our DI was an alcoholic lifer constantly being demoted to the lowest sergeant rank. His only possession was a yellow Mustang. The experience was more like the movie "Stripes". I had enlisted while in high school and was probably one of the few pre-Vietnam enlisted. Interesting memories. The real Vietnam vets were short-changed their entire short career. The Wall is a holy monument. FMJ got it right.

I saw some of my father's photos that I wasn't supposed to see when I was a boy, and I can tell you soldiers playing football with a severed head is not unrealistic. I was once told by a vet (not my father) that you had to let yourself go a little crazy to keep from going crazy. Wasn't till I was older that I understood what he meant.

I'm glad they finally got around to talking about the lady. She was the only reason I tapped on this crap.

If clips from "The Boys in Company C are going to be used, at least give the movie its deserved props. I read a long time ago, that it was TBICC that inspired Stanley Kubrick to make FMJ.
FMJ's overall story mirrors that of TBICC -- raw recruits going through brutal boot camp and then deploying to South Vietnam as USMC riflemen.
Both movies have screenplays that were based on The Short-Timers novel by Gustav Hasford. And R. Lee Ermey authentically portrays a DI in both movies.
Both these movies are classics that are totally worth watching. Separately, or maybe back-to-back, like a double feature!

[badmaverick]

Im surprised they didn't expound on number 29 or even mention the other DI used in the movie as it's own number of little known facts. The original drill instructor of the movie was Tim Colceri, and he had done most of the scenes as Sgt. Hartman before Kubrick, after talking to Ermey and realizing that Ermey sounded more forceful replaced him after Colceri was nearly complete with his scenes. Not wanting to cut the original DI out of the movie completely Kubrick gave him another part to he was the door gunner in the chopper who had one of the most iconic lines. "anyone who runs is a VC. anyone who stands still is a well trained VC! Ain't war hell!?".

[shadypelican]

Vincent D'Onofrio's transformation is even more impressive when you consider his very next film was Adventures in Babysitting where he plays a mechanic that is mistaken for the superhero Thor and God of Thunder because of his physique.

[MoparMissileDivision]

Ermey reminded me so much of my Drill Instructor at MCRD in fall/winter of 1980-'81. Drill Instructor Sergeant Boffo, who was still in training to become a senior drill Instructor. Senior DI was Staff Sergeant Viallva, a cool and classy DI that worked with the platoon on marching on the parade grounds.

[memirandawong]

In high school in 1973 we were 'lucky' enough to have a former Drill Instructor as a physical education teacher. I can relate to much of the treatment. Even the name calling. I kid you not. Those guys must have been born that way. He even instilled a ranking system according to tested physical abilities. One person screw up, even mildly, we all got to do it again.

scenes from The boys in Company C, Apocalypse now, Casualties of war in a film about Full metal jacket !

[scopex]

The 'Vietnam' location was actually an abandoned Gas Works in London England - not a power station. Most of the movie was shot in Army bases and disused bases in UK.

As a former Marine... I approve of this San Diego, MCRD Plt. 2011 1957

[richardbaxter]

When FMJ was filmed in the UK, the Boot Camp was based at the Army Training Centre at Bassingbourn. During WW2, Bassingbourn was a Bomber Airfield that was given over to the USAAF 8th Air Force. The historically renowned B17 Bomber, “Memphis Belle” flew from this Base, so “US Forces” making a return there was a real “homecoming”!

The Vietnamese City of Hue is pronounced “Whay”....not

The Boot Camp Assault Course was indeed built on site, sadly it wasn’t robust enough and our Platoons were not allowed to use it after filming had finished.

Part of the old airfield at Bassingbourn was planted out with Palm Trees....sadly they all died but it was a favourite punishment for us trainees, to be sent over to “Vietnam” to count them....😂😂

This was a moderate production, unlike the Film, which was awesome!

R L Ermey is the real deal!! Although I was in the Navy, I worked with gunnery sets ad I was an assault boat coxwain, gator Navy! Did my weapons checkout with gunny to get corp qualified in small arms.glad I did!
